Bandcamp Bans AI Music
Bandcamp has announced a ban on music made wholly or substantially by generative AI, aiming to protect human creativity and prohibit AI impersonation of artists. Here’s what the music platform had to say: … Something that always strikes us as we put together a roundup like this is the sheer quantity of human creativity and passion that artists express on Bandcamp every single day.

#MusiQuinta com a pauta “músicas que viraram tatuagens de vocês, mas também valem músicas sobre tatuagem, que vocês planejem fazer tatuagem sobre, que conheçam alguém que tatuou a letra, que acha bonito ou que acha tatuável”:
Marilyn Manson - Tatooed in Reverse
I’m un-stabled, I’m not a show horse
I can’t be bridled, of course
I’m un-scabbed and un-regretted
I got tattooed in reverse
Woah, in reverse

Discos em 2025:
Quando defini que ia comprar apenas 12 discos em 2025, achava que estava a ser muito exigente. Afinal, acabei por só comprar 7 (ainda que a minha wishlist tenha crescido). O “concerto do ano” para mim foi Marilyn Manson em Lisboa, e durante o ano ouvi 386 discos da minha coleção - o que também significa que ainda não a acabei de organizar. Dos discos lançados em 2025, há menções muito especiais para dois que incluem música feita por mim: idiossINcracias vol. I, que é um disco entre o meu projecto #kokori e Floating Ashes, e 25.12, que é uma compilação onde kokori também participou com uma faixa. Três discos que comprei são de Marilyn Manson, um oficial e dois bootlegs, e o oficial (o single “In The Air Tonight”) não foi o mais interessante dos três, mas sim o “I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies”, disco duplo de lados B. O IdiossINcrasias vol. 2 tem uma excelente participação de Casa Ukrania, de quem também comprei um disco. 20 anos depois do lançamento do “Clear Hearts Grey Flowers” de Jack Off Jill, foi re-editado com um lado extra ao vivo, onde se pode ouvir-me a cantar os parabéns à Jessicka (com toda a audiência). Quanto ao streaming, parece que ouvi 689 artistas diferentes, 53% deles pela primeira vez. E tenho um novo tote bag!
#musiquinta - conheci em 2025
Não quero mentir e não tenho a certeza absoluta, mas acho que só em 2025 conheci os La Tène. Seja como for, foi em 2025 que luz um álbum deles na minha wishlist…

ANTI-DEMOS-CRACIA, desde 1988, a registar sonoridades diferenciadas!
A precisar de banda sonora para hoje?
A ANTI-DEMOS-CRACIA (ADC) lançou um repto ousado: desafiar o convencional e conceber um álbum de Natal definido pela total liberdade criativa. O convite, estendido a projetos de todas as vertentes e sem restrições estéticas ou geográficas, teve um objetivo claro: subverter o cânone tradicional da época.
Estava assim traçado o rumo de “25.12”, o álbum de Natal da ADC.
Passados alguns meses, chegamos ao dia 24 de Dezembro e, às 12h, a ADC assinalou o lançamento celebrando a elevada qualidade artística e a expressiva adesão ao projeto.
A diversidade sonora recebida percorre géneros que vão da eletrónica robusta à experimentalista, do punk ao rock, culminando na pop de Os Curiosos — banda na qual Henrique Amoroso colabora com alunos do Centro de Reabilitação e Integração de Deficientes de Cascais (CRID).
No total, o projeto reuniu 57 participações de diversas texturas sonoras, com uma abrangência geográfica significativa: desde Portugal (54 contributos, incluindo músicos residentes no estrangeiro) até Espanha (2) e Nova Zelândia (1). Ao todo, a iniciativa envolveu mais de uma centena e meia de mentes criativas.
